Changing the World, One Life at a Time

A Better Way Ministries, Inc. is a place of refuge for men ages 17 - 55 with drug and alcohol addictions and other life controlling issues. While in our program these individuals will learn how to look to Christ for the answers they so desperately need.

They will learn self-discipline, spiritual awareness, and leave behind the addictions that have devastated their lives. In the process their lives will become Christ centered. Upon graduation of the program these men and boys will be equipped to become productive citizens, who, when faced with the challenges of the world, will look to the Lord for solutions instead of relying on old patterns of destructive behavior.

Our aim is to see every graduate of our program established in society and enjoying a full, productive life. We endeavor to help people become mentally stable, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive. Each phase of A Better Way Ministries/Teen Challenge training plays a vital part in achieving these objectives.
